How to remove from a lacquered fender of a car, or at least make a simple scratch unobtrusive. Review of means for removing or masking scratches.
Not only a word, but also just a scratch can spoil the mood.
There are many tools for removing or masking scratches on the shelves today - this will calm the owner of a scratched car for a while. But eyes immediately run up, and optimism dries up: the principle of the drugs is completely different! Some are polishes with abrasive inclusions, others contain a certain substance that slightly dissolves the varnish and fills in a scratch, while others simply allow you to touch up the defective spot. There are also wax compositions that fill and mask the scratch "for the time of demonstration of the car to the buyer." So what to buy? We have purchased drugs of all kinds of principles of action. Finding a suitable wing and sprinkling it with various-sized scratches is not difficult. At the same time, we deliberately acted like an ordinary customer: we read the instructions and acted in accordance with it, “forgetting” for a while our professional skills.
Therefore, a negative result should be considered precisely from the position of a novice repairman. An advanced user could have done better in some cases.
It is clear that it is incorrect to directly compare a wax pencil, paint and polish. Therefore, we arranged all the participants at the request of … the artist!
